Cormack's appointment a boost to EOH company, Softworx

Issued by Watt Communication for EOH

Johannesburg, 28 Jul 2010

Softworx, an EOH company, leading business applications provider and Infor reseller, has appointed Neil Cormack as Supply Chain Director.

Managing Director Jane Thomson says Cormack's responsibilities will include the strategy development and execution for the supply chain business and the establishment of Infor Supply Chain Management solutions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Cormack has extensive knowledge across the full IT spectrum, from manufacturing development, planning and control system, including the aerospace and defence industry, and sales and management of global client relationships.

His twenty plus years of consulting experience has garnered him industry knowledge across the globe, including Europe, the US and Australia.

He is enthusiastic about the challenges ahead and opportunities to grow Infor SCM solutions within a fairly immature South Africa market. “Many companies have implemented an ERP solution as the “system of record” and are unaware of the potential to extend the planning, control and visibility outside of the four walls of the enterprise using supply chain technology.”
